This is a high-visibility, high-autonomy role for someone who wants to combine classic corp dev rigor with the judgment of a platform investor. You will partner closely with Product and Engineering leadership to ensure every deal and every investment strengthens the Temporal ecosystem.\nWHAT YOU'LL DO\nBuild and manage the full M&A pipeline: identify targets, develop the strategic rationale, lead diligence, structure and negotiate terms, and drive deals through close and integration handoff.\n\nDesign and launch Temporal's ecosystem investment program - thesis, mandate, check sizes, sourcing pipeline, and governance - to invest in companies building on top of the platform.\n\nOwn investment execution end-to-end: sourcing, diligence, term negotiation, board/observer rights, and portfolio monitoring and reporting.\n\nPartner closely with Product to align acquisition and investment targets with the platform roadmap, identifying where build, buy, partner, or invest is the right call.\n\nDevelop and maintain a market map of the Temporal ecosystem, tracking companies, competitive dynamics, and emerging opportunities for partnership, investment, or acquisition.\n\nBuild financial models and valuation analyses to support deal decisions and present clear recommendations to executive leadership and the board.\n\nManage relationships with bankers, lawyers, VCs, and founders, representing Temporal as a thoughtful, trusted counterparty in the ecosystem.\n\nEstablish scalable processes, templates, and governance for both M&A and investment activity as the programs mature.\n\nWHAT YOU BRING\n10+ years of experience in corporate development, venture capital/growth investing, investment banking, or private equity, ideally with exposure to both M&A and minority investing.\n\nA track record of sourcing, structuring, and closing deals independently, from first conversation to signed agreement.\n\nStrong financial modeling, valuation, and diligence skills, paired with sound commercial judgment.\n\nExperience partnering with Product and Engineering teams to translate technical and platform strategy into deal criteria.\n\nFamiliarity with developer tools, infrastructure, or platform ecosystems; direct knowledge of Temporal or workflow orchestration is a strong plus.\n\nExcellent communication skills and the ability to build trust with founders, investors, and internal executives alike.\n\nComfort operating with significant ambiguity - this role will define its own playbook.\n\nWHY THIS ROLE\nYou'll build a net-new investment program from scratch while shaping Temporal's M&A strategy, working at the intersection of product, platform, and capital - with direct visibility to executive leadership and real influence over how the Temporal ecosystem grows.\nTemporal Technologies is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
